[@olivere5497]

Dayz needs this.

[@klauslouring7635]

Well, thats easy enough - i'll give it a try. The music - is that really necessary?? I was'ent expecting the last bottle - great job 😅

[@NilsBeardfoot]

@@klauslouring7635 thank you :) yea all newer video have no music anymore

[@bombshark08]

Awesome work

[@NilsBeardfoot]

Thank you :)

[@FrontierLegacy]

for a modern version, food safe paraffin wax would be a better choice as it has a higher melting temp than beeswax and will not deform in the summer heat as easily.

[@NilsBeardfoot]

If the is higher it is definitly a good idea! Thank you for sharing :)

[@Tuner9069]

Could also use conifer resin (pine, spruce, etc) for the glue. And natural fat (not store bought)(bear, racoon, deer, etc) would be best for interior and exterior.

Great video I would like to see him restore the leather on a Victorian whiskey flask

[@NilsBeardfoot]

Didn't know they covered whisky bottles in leather, would be a nice project for sure

[@Seiaeka]

Well, that was unexpected. XD Thanks for the tutorial.

[@NilsBeardfoot]

I guess you are talking about the alternative shape at the end :D you are very welcome, I had to laugh a lot myself when I made that thing xD

[@jonasabelson]

Omg the second one with the yellow wax in the head!!😂

[@NilsBeardfoot]

No idea what you are talking about ;D

[@No-Channel19]

How long do these last before they start to leak? You should make a leather bladder for a CamelBak.

[@NilsBeardfoot]

Not sure yet, depends much on if they are dropped often on the ground and the amount of wax used, but even if they do leak you could heat up the wax and close any leaks

I cannot find the adult costrel pattern on your etsy store. Our one ren faire character are knobgoblins (we gobble knobs) and that would be perfect. Hello from the realm of Pennsylvania Rennaisance Faire land in the USA. (Pottstown PA)

[@NilsBeardfoot]

I wrote you on Etsy :)

[@kaziadreamer196]

Simply wow brother. How much will it cost me , I live in India near at Kolkata.

[@NilsBeardfoot]

Thanks mate, I sell only the digital pattern so you can craft it yourself and how much that would cost you can check in the link below in my shop

[@victoraleman286]

🤣🤣🤣 came here to learn, left with a laugh

[@NilsBeardfoot]

I am glade you did :D

¿donde puedo conseguir ese tipo de cera? ¿Es la misma cera que se utliza para acer velas?

[@NilsBeardfoot]

Solo cera de abejas normal, debería estar disponible en internet

[@Sheepdog1314]

excellent !! Danke schoen

[@NilsBeardfoot]

You are very welcome :)

[@jimflorman2198]

Would there be any issues storing alcohol in this? I'm thinking of making one for my father in law who enjoys mead.

[@NilsBeardfoot]

That is a very good question, in theory strong alcohol can desolve wax over time. So currently I can not give you any guarantee, but I started a little test with some 40% Vodka and some bees wax in it. In a view days I may can tell you what happend. If the alcohol is ony in for some hours or a day, I would expect nothing to happen

[@brennenderopa]

@@NilsBeardfoot Was there a problem storing alcohol in it? I do not think Vodka can touch bees wax but I have an open mind.

[@NilsBeardfoot]

@@brennenderopa Ah thanks for the reminder, after some weeks stillt nothing happend so I gues there is not a problem between alcohol with bees wax

[@iamabeginner368]

Can dyed lether be used or is it saver to dye it after crafting? Thanks for the Tutorial

[@NilsBeardfoot]

Generally spoke you can, but be sure it is veg tanned leather

[@jackjack9292]

Lmao that's friggin hilarious

[@In_The_80s]

Why is that frog bottle missing legs? 🤫

[@NilsBeardfoot]

@@In_The_80s :D to be honest, I never saw a frog in it

[@juliangarciabalbas7900]

¿Que cantidad de cera de abeja se necesita para este trabajo?

[@NilsBeardfoot]

Unos 300 g serán suficientes

[@carr869]

Thank you for making and sharing the video. Is there a temperature you like the wax to be?

[@NilsBeardfoot]

Only as hot as it needs to be completly melted, higher could be at some point make the leather shrink

[@carr869]

@@NilsBeardfoot my bottle turned out great. Gotta clean it up a bit using the heat gun to chase the extra wax down and off the bottle. All and all, I’m very happy with it. Thank you Tom

[@NilsBeardfoot]

@@carr869 that is great to hear, thank you for sharing:)

[@Flickas_Workshop]

What beeswax would you recommend?

[@NilsBeardfoot]

Pure beeswax

[@inityo]

How come the water doesn’t leak out

[@NilsBeardfoot]

Thats what the bees wax is for

[@Desjima]

what kind of glue are you using for this?

[@NilsBeardfoot]

I used contact cement

[@Desjima]
